Jeff Zentner Knihy

Carver je obyčajný tínedžer, má kamošov, robotu, v škole sa mu celkom darí a na hodinách tvorivého písania dokonca exceluje. A potom pošle jednu esemesku. „Chalani, kde ste? Ozvite sa.“ A celý jeho doterajší život sa zrúti. Jeho najlepší kamoši Mars, Eli a Blake skončia pod kolesami kamióna. Smútiace rodiny, kamaráti aj spolužiaci sa snažia vyrovnať s náhlou stratou, ale ide to ťažko, keď majú vinníka priamo pod nosom. Carverov život nie je príbeh o vine a treste. Ale o žiali a o bolesti, o rozlúčkach a o odchodoch, no najmä o nových začiatkoch. O nádeji na lepšie zajtrajšky, ktoré sú doslova na dosah, ale zároveň sa nám zdajú nedosiahnuteľné.
